This is the thread to discuss the Canola2 Beta2 update that was released on February 1, 2008.

Folks that are having trouble with music playing. To get logs from atabake (our media engine) and canola, follow these steps. Close Canola, open a terminal and use the following commands:

$ atabake stop
$ atabake start --logfile=/home/user/MyDocs/atabake_log.txt -vvv
$ canola -vvv

And try to play the problematic songs. If the problem still occurs, please post the contents of atabake_log.txt and the output in terminal after running Canola. These will help us to find out what's happening.

No crashing here on my N810, works great so far.

Does the latest update support real audio streams? I thought RAM files were now supported - does this also include *.ra and *.rm files, I tried setting up some rtsp:// addresses in the internet radio but it gives me the error "No feed available for this URL" - is streaming real audio not yet supported?

Okay, I did that, here is the terminal output, or at least what I could get, there was so much that I couldn't see the beginning of it, and piping it to less doesn't work, b/c apparently there is no less on the IT.

and here is the output of the log file

hope this helps!

absolofdoom, it helped a lot, thanks :-)

It seems that you have an old dependency. Could you check the version of your python2.5-efl-utils package, and try to upgrade it to the latest version?

Everything is working fine for me.
Many thanks to the developers of this awesome app.

someone should upload a video of use to youtube = ]

Noonker : is there =)

I think people uploaded the "official" videos, there are some of my personal videos =)

marceloeduardo.blip.tv

and shoreserenity in youtube

=)

Looks and works great so far. The multiple albums is fixed and appears to be working great, I love the interface on the multiple album entries screen, really looks great and works well.

Issues:
Only issue I have encountered so far is that when I am listening to a track it stops playing when I am in the configuration adding new internet radio stations.

Some other possible enhancements:
1) An equalizer to change, customize frequency during playback (maybe even a graphic display or visualization too)

2) Playlist management - someone else said the ability to queue tracks up or at least add them to the currently playing list. Being able to create and modify your own playlists would also be good.

3) Internet Streaming radio (.ra and .rm files) for services like the BBC radio which is already setup within the built in media player

4) Support album cover art which has been built into mp3 files - I purchased an mp4 file from playpal.fm the other day and the cover art was integrated into the mp3 file.

5) Canola can get sluggish when working with podcasts (when switching to and updating) and take some time for the screen to refresh although the downloader now works perfectly - I was able to download podcasts without any errors

6) Podcast configuration, it would be great to be able to configure where podcasts are saved to

7) Podcast auto refreshing, a refresh all or an option to configure canola to refresh all available podcasts (or subset) on a preset schedule would be great.

8) Media directory for podcasts and internet radio i.e. shoutcast.com which allows you to "tune" into 1000's of internet radio stations. This may be something that would be better fitted to a website rather than being built into canola itself - a custom subscription info (xml?) file could be downloaded from the web and read into canola after the user selects everything they want to subscribe to (for example a site like www.gronmayer.com/it for music instead of IT repositories)

9) Youtube integration - ability to view videos from youtube

Everything so far looks great, the fixes to the media configuration screens are great. Once you click enter it goes and acquires the name directly, no more multiple clicks. I can edit the names on the stations and they are saved!! It all looks great.

All in all it was well worth the wait for this release, heres looking forward to much more improvement and enhancements.

Thanks.
